Tigers-Yankees series preview

Johnny Damon and Austin Jackson make their season debuts in Yankee Stadium tonight, as the Tigers are in town for a four-game series.

For a check-in on all the ex-Yankees, check out my post earlier today for a complete update.

Head to Head:
The Yankees lost three out of four to the Tigers back in May and this week marks their final matchup of the season.

Pitching Matchups:

Date: Tigers starters Yankees starters
Mon., 7:05 p.m. Max Scherzer (7-9, 4.03) J. Vazquez (9-8, 4.90)
Tues., 7:05 p.m. J. Verlander (13-7, 3.72) CC Sabathia (15-5, 3.14)
Wed., 7:05 p.m. J. Bonderman (6-8, 5.16) D. Moseley (2-2, 4.41)
Thurs., 1:05 p.m. Rick Porcello (5-10, 5.53) Phil Hughes (14-5, 3.94)

Lineup Note: Both catchers are in the lineup tonight, leaving Lance Berkman on the bench.

Prediction:
The Yankees will win three out of four to even the season series. Tonight’s matchup will be tough, but I give the edge to the Yanks in the next three.
